what are the best ways to concentrate while reading?

Try to change your focus every 5 mins because this will keep your eyes from being too tired yea .

To be honest, I think that we all have our own methods to concentrate. A method that might work for me might not work for you or my neighbor or something like that. I think that you might want to see what method works best for you.

concentration is what is required. if you keep thinking about something and keep reading the article then at the end you woould realise that you have gathered nothing from your reading.

it would be better if you keep making oneline notes of the whole thing tat you read. this would help you concentrate as well as help you to keep a track of what you have have been reading all the while.

Well, the best way is to summarise what you just read, either in mind or in paper.Read again the same article and this time,crosscheck on what you summarised and whether you missed any point as such.Jotting down while learning helps, because you can recap what you read from the papers.Hope it helps.Thanks!

It's pretty normal not to grasp everything on the first time you read something. In reading something for the first time, the most important thing to consider is to at least understand what you're reading as a whole and not really get too much into the details. I read a lot lately and before it really puzzles and sometimes I worry when I really can't get all or much in reading something for the first time. I later realized that I can only get into the details once I read it over and over again. Here's what I do to have a better retention while reading (even reading articles for the first time).

1.) Focus on what your read 100%. I have noticed that when I read sometimes, my mind is not really into what I read 100%. Though I read, I sometimes think of something else which takes my focus away from what I read which results in reading without comprehension. Set your mind on what you read and sooner or later you'll develop the skill of focusing on what you're reading.

2.) Make learning as a motivation. If you think about learning, reading would be so easy and retention is a lot easier. You can focus a lot better and absorb what the book or article really has to say. Reading for the sake of reading is fun but it's not a good way to understand and keep what it really has to say. If your mind is set into learning, it will follow through in your focus.

3.) Follow through. I read other sources of information about something that I read. For example, I have read a book. After finishing reading the book, I browse through the internet to dind other articles or write ups related to what I have just read. In that way, I am broadening my horizons and get valuable information from other sources. This is a much better way since some sources contain some information that are not in other sources. Be varied.
